Abstract
This present invention relates to the findings of the DNA sequences of fish insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) promoter regions and recombinant IGF-II promoters. These DNA sequences are capable of being expressed in eukaryotic cells and fish embryos of another fish species. The integration of the IGF-II promoter regions or recombinant IGF-II promoters into fish of another species results in the creation of a transgenic fish. The results of this invention illustrate that a fish IGF-II promoter not only can act as a growth factor to stimulate the growth and development of fish, but also is capable of being expressed in other eukaryotic cells such as in human cells.
